thing 21

Here is my clip. It may have been from operator error, but, Animoto wouldn't generate an embedding code and the "share to blogger" thing wouldn't work.

Well, maybe that'll work. If not, the link should do the trick.

Anyway, I thought Animoto was pretty easy to use. It was nice that I could sign in with my Facebook account seeing as how that's where ALL my pictures are. I had one consistent problem, though. When I tried to open my albums, they would sit there and try to load, but, they wouldn't. It may have been a problem with slow Wifi, but, still... Something else I kind of thought was annoying was that it wasn't clear on how to delete pictures. Thanks to the albums not opening right, I had to just post a whole album. My reasoning was that I would just delete what I didn't want and be done. Didn't happen. Thankfully, it took off the last two pictures and left what fit. So, I suppose I can't say too much bad about it.

Overall, I am pleased with the finished product. I chose to put pictures of my son, girlfriend, mom, dad, brother, car odometer, and a cheesecake my girlfriend and I made for this passed Easter. I chose those people and things (minus the cheesecake. I just wanted to put the cheesecake in it because it was AWESOME!) because those are the people and things hold very dear places in my heart, and, I would give anything to let them know what they have meant to me over the last seven years. Longer for my immediate family, and shorter for Lindsay, (my girlfriend) but, seven years ago was when my life really turned around and I realized what they all really meant to me.

On a side note, there is a picture of Lindsay and me standing in a pair of pants that used to fit me. That was an eye opening experience if ever there was one for me. So, that one made the final cut.
